The paper refers to some property issues which can be progressively solved by the ‘emotional bond’.
The age of Greek Cypriots left their homes at 1974 would be also taken into consideration for determining opportunities their family property return.
The paper says, the age of 10 of ‘emotional bond’ was actively discussed. The devotional areas, the realty to be used only for security, the realty which will be temporarily vacant after the solution and unused realty not included in the bond scope. Such decision will be implemented soon for all property types, primarily for land with homes or other buildings and also for empty plots.
It is shown in the paper that between 162 and 180 thousand Cypriots migrated south in 1974. They had left more than 1,35 mln donums of Greek land (1,350 square kilometers). 43 – 65 thousand Turkish Cypriots migrated north. They left 400 thousand donums of land (400 square kilometers).
The both leaders have a common vision of this problem solving. They agree that people who lost properties will have various variants such as exchange, compensation or return of property.
Furthermore, Anastasiades asked Akinci to return of the Varosha and withdraw of militaries on the first day of this solution. Consequently, Greek Cypriots will exactly get immediate benefits from any solution.
Tymbou airport becomes available for international visitors. It supposed to be a new step of integration in international community starting.
Akinci proposed political leaders to discuss some significant issues in the closed room outside Cyprus. And one of them is a territorial problem. Milliyet said it is necessary to decide critical problems concerning Cyprus properties. He also added that this problem for a long time was a mystery, but an agreement has been already reached, so the problem seems to be solved after re-evaluation of the situation.
After such re-evaluation, leaders agreed about the number of citizens for the referendum. The population of Greek Cypriot would be 802 thousand, while the Turkish Cypriot – only 220 thousand. And the Greek Cypriots will be no more than the Turkish Cypriots number (those who will vote in a forthcoming referendum) and opposed the right of voting of the Turkish Cypriots who lives abroad. So, Akinci reported that the Turkish Cypriots number would not be increased beyond that figure.
